far more than any other Councilman had
done"

"a statement, and certainly did not in
tend 10 leave the impression conveyed by
the above words What | did say was
in substance, that MI Bethel claimed, as

more for Clay ward than the Democratic
party had ever done, while Mr. George
j. Hooper Jr., had accomplished more
as Democrat for the southern section Of
the ward than any other Councilman
and received the credit for il.
Mr. Hooper is not a member OF the
Reform Council and has not been ia the
City Council since 1884, when he was
there as a Democrat. There were no

Governor yesterday releases Mr. Kidd, as
the seven. months expired September
eth. Mr.. Kidd was released from the
city Jail yesterday afternoon.
The Governors action in relieving Mr.
Kidd from further confinement was
based ON q letter from dr. s. l.. Ingram
who has been regularly attending the

For the past two or three months Lewis
i. Kidd, confined in the Manchester Jail,
has suffered and is suffering tO such an
extent from extreme neryOu, prOstratiOn,
combined with chronic arrangement Of

opinion that further confinement would
result most probably in permanent i'm

During his incarceration Mr. Kidd has
been quite sick, and has fallen 'oif con-
siderably in flesh. lie regrets the oifense
for which he was convicted, says ii has
